So I was reading up on this because a Christian friend of mine told me about it last week. I had no idea they found this stuff in the Red Sea. Not that Chariots in the Red Sea prove anything. Take a look at this website and have some fun reading the comments below.

It's proof that people have littered the ocean for as long as they have had wheels to throw into the ocean. What will people say 4000 years from now about the trash generated by the Japanese earthquake/tsunami of 2011?

It was just a fucking apple man, we're sorry okay? Please stop the madness

What a stupid mistake. Well can't fix it now! There's no edit button for me. : )

Granted, it's a pretty big leap to assume that a chariot in the Red Sea is proof of Moses parting it, but come on now, don't dismiss the entire discipline of archeology. They're the same people who are putting together the fossil record. Chillax.

I don't think he's dismissing anything. The trash from the Tsunami will tell us a great deal about that particular event.

I helped excavate a black smith shop and great care was taken in the area of the "trash pile". Believe me... the out house and the path to it, were the prized areas that everyone wanted to be "their spot" on the dig. People discard and lose, what tells us quite a lot about how they lived.

As for the chariots at the bottom of the ocean. Ships sink all the time with carts, horses, people, some complete with full houses, are strewn like trash across the bottom of seas all over the planet. Finding them will only help explain a particular portion of history.

Archeologists find their best shit in the trash. If or how discovered objects might be connected to a particular people or event, is the very foundation of archeology.
